#1 Jeez, Fat Boy, too bad there aren't any there to take over and bail your ass out. You really shoulda known, because it was in all the papers.
Oh, well. Guess you'll have to die.

#3 Obviously Tater knows a good deal when he sees one, UN equals Money-for-Saddam. And, let's not forget the non-action on Iranian nukes by the IAEA.

#4 That call to Yasser must've gone through - dusting off the "red notebook of ploys and plansâ¢"

#5 Sadr is under the delusion that he actually has any say in what happens in Iraq. He had his chance to be part of the political process but he decided to go for establishing a mullacroacy like his masters in Iran.

I don't think (at least I hope not) Allawi is too willing for those who profited from oil-for-food while Iraqis starved, were murdered, and tortured to take a leading role.

#6 WTF are U.N troops???
The U.N. is so spooked after their Baghdad HQ was blown up, they won't even provide guards for that!

#7 Tater is negotiating from a position of weakness, which is not the position to be in for making things happen. This showdown at the mosque is Iraq's to lose. I do not think that al Sadr called the Arafish, cause the Arafish is not doing so well in Ramallah.

#8 Who gives a rat's ass what Sadr is prepared to "accept"? He's neither representative nor member of the government, and as such, doesn't have any say in what goes on other than voicing his own silly opinion. Sakes.

#9 Ahhh yes, AP, but Arafish has always hoped for UN troops as a protective wall, behind which, to launch attacks

#10 On your knees Sadr boy. Show the Arab world what kind of ~~donkey~~ man you are. Grovel some more, this time with REAL feeling.

#11 This is Sadr holding out an olive branch to Allawi, showing where they have common ground.

Is the UN roasted on Saturday Night Live weekly? I'da loved to see Garrett Morris do Kofi.
